Default tire mounting

where are you guys going to get your tires mounted in the bay area? also looking for a place to do an alignment. I've heard good things about Auto Innovations and have both heard and had bad experience at Vex motorsports. can you guys recommend me any good shops?

Mach III in San Francisco is good for alignment and mount/balance

Auto Innovations - they even line up the dot with the valve stem! And for alignments, you can choose your spec... I've taken my last couple cars and all of my friends cars there.

I got my tires put on at san mateo tires, with alignment. Well they were reasonably priced, my car pulls slightly to the right. I think I'm going to give auto innovations a call in the near future.

You can't go wrong with Auto Innovation, especially if you have nice wheels you want to protect.

if you are up towards SF/San Bruno area, the guys over at The Shop will take care of you. I have them do all of my tire mounting services and they also do alignments. www.theshopsanbruno.com

you also can't go wrong with Orlando at Auto Innovations as they do great work as well.

+1 for Auto Innovations. I had my tires done there a couple weeks ago and I'm going back for an alignment as soon as I'm done setting my ride height. Orlando and Steve helped me out, they know their stuff.

Definitely going to go to Auto innovations for my alignment, but tire mounting they quoted me a semi steep price..maybe Im used to being spoiled with really low pricing in the past.

On a side note, I spoke to a buddy of mine who went to AI with his Subaru Justy. He took it back 3 times before taking it to another shop, all 3 times they could not get it aligned properly.
